Note 1 at Mt. 8:20: The animals that Jesus created (Col. 1:16- 17) were also provided with some form of shelter, but the Creator Himself had no place to call His own. His Father did provide for His needs (see note 1 at Lk. 9:58, p. 247), but it certainly wasn't in the style that we would have expected. Jesus made Himself of no reputation and humbled Himself (Phil. 2:7-8) so that (1) He could be a merciful and faithful high priest (Heb. 2:17) who was touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Heb. 4:15) and (2) so that men would have to accept Him by faith based on His life and not His looks or possessions.
